Breakdown Recovery in North Greenwich, Greenwich
When a car gives up in North Greenwich, the two things that matter are how soon somebody arrives and whether they can actually move it. We run our own recovery trucks out of Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so there is no middleman passing your job down a list. We take your location, your vehicle and what has happened, then send the nearest truck.
Our breakdown recovery service in North Greenwich covers everything from a car that will not start on the drive to one that has stopped dead on Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102). We recover to your home, a garage of your choice, or our own workshop in Erith, where we can diagnose and repair it ourselves.
How long until we reach you in North Greenwich?
From our Erith yard to North Greenwich is about 7.5 miles, so in an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes. The last stretch is normally Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102) or Millennium Way. Ring 07961 100260 and you will have an honest arrival time and a fixed price before you hang up.

Local knowledge of North Greenwich
We are regularly called to Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102) and Millennium Way, to the streets around The O2, and to station car parks at North Greenwich. Knowing which roads are red route, where the height barriers are and where a truck can actually turn is what turns a quoted arrival time into a real one.
If you stop on Blackwall Tunnel Approach (the A102), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: The O2, IFS Cloud Cable Car and Blackwall Tunnel, or North Greenwich station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
We do not work from a price list, because no two jobs are the same. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Ring 07961 100260 with the details and we will give you one fixed price for North Greenwich — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

Breakdown Recovery in North Greenwich — FAQs
What information do you need when I ring?
Where you are (a postcode, road name or what3words is ideal), the make, model and registration, and what the car is doing — will not start, lost power, warning light, noise. Tell us too if it has no keys, will not roll or is somewhere with a height barrier. With that we can give you a fixed price and an honest arrival time on the first call.
How quickly can you reach me in North Greenwich?
North Greenwich is about 7.5 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102) and Millennium Way. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Where will you take my car?
Wherever you want it to go — home, your own garage, a main dealer, or our workshop in Erith, where we can diagnose and repair it ourselves. If you are not sure, we can store it securely at our yard overnight while you decide.
Do you cover all of SE10?
Yes — every street in SE10, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Greenwich Peninsula, Canary Wharf, Greenwich and Westcombe Park, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can I travel in the recovery truck with you?
Yes, in most cases. Our trucks carry passengers, so you and usually one other adult can ride with us. If you have more people, children needing car seats or a pet, tell us when you ring so we can plan for it.
My car won't start at North Greenwich station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in North Greenwich, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Do I need to be a member to use your breakdown service?
No. There is no membership and no annual fee — you pay for the job you need, at a price agreed before we set off. Many of our customers are AA or RAC members who have been quoted a long wait and would rather pay to be moved now.
I have broken down on Blackwall Tunnel Approach — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Can you recover vans, 4x4s and motorbikes?
Yes. We recover cars, vans, 4x4s, motorbikes and light commercials. For larger vans, loaded vehicles or anything unusual, tell us the details when you ring so we send the right truck.
Are you open at night and at weekends in North Greenwich?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across North Greenwich, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
